Library of Parliament committee  Certainly, in terms of consultation with parliamentarians, as I mentioned, I think this committee is certainly one place for that. Until I have actually been fully briefed by the Library in terms of what they're doing now to consult with parliamentarians, I'm not sure that.... I

Library of Parliament committee  Thank you very much.

Library of Parliament committee  Thank you very much for the question. This is a perfect example of why having this committee in place is so great. You have ideas that I can take and think about and explore with my team to see what comes of them. In terms of the boutique, I'm certainly open to ideas from membe

Library of Parliament committee  Thank you.

Library of Parliament committee  I'll just say a big thank you for the opportunity to appear today. I cannot tell you what an honour it is to be considered for this position. If I am confirmed in it, I look forward to working with all of you over the coming years. Thank you for your courtesy and interest, and I

Library of Parliament committee  As we are part of an innovative and flexible institution, we are always rethinking the way we do our work in order to determine whether there is a better way to proceed. As the new librarian, reviewing the way the library provides those services would not be anything new. Libra

Library of Parliament committee  All I know about it is essentially what was reported to this committee by those who are currently involved in these files. My understanding is that there are discussions that are ongoing between the Privy Council Office and the House of Commons with respect to whether something c

Library of Parliament committee  You can probably imagine that, since today I am just a nominee and I'm not in the position yet, I am certainly reluctant to make any kind of commitment to bring specific things back yet, but I've certainly made note of the committee's interest. Thank you.

Library of Parliament committee  In terms of whether we have enough money, as you can imagine, I'm not in a position to say at this point whether we do or do not. What I can assure you is that I will take the management of the budget of the library very seriously and ensure that it is one that is very soundly ma

Library of Parliament committee  Thank you very much, Senator Eaton. That is a fascinating question, and one I admit I did not think about at 3:30 in the morning when I was lying in bed anticipating what I might be asked today.

Library of Parliament committee  Honestly, it is a question I have not thought about and one that I will reflect on. I don't know what the appropriate role for the Library would be in that domain, if there is one. I certainly do appreciate the importance of indigenous peoples to the country, to Parliament, and t

Library of Parliament committee  That's a wonderful idea to explore. It's certainly one that I would be happy to think about, if I'm confirmed in the job, and to talk to my colleagues about as well and get ideas from you. Certainly that is something I will make note of for future reflection. In terms of the bu

Library of Parliament committee  I think it is a fascinating and important question to ask. One of the things, Senator, that I would want is to consult with Library and Archives Canada to see what the appropriate forum or organization is for those kinds of documents. We want to be sure that we use taxpayers' dol

Library of Parliament committee  Thank you for the question, Mr. Ouellette. As I have not yet taken over the position, I would have to check whether any consultations have been held and, if so, what they focused on, what methods were used, and so on. I still don't have the basic information. That said, it seem

Library of Parliament committee  Thank you very much for the question, Mr. Choquette. I have understood that this topic was of great interest to this committee, as I had a discussion with Ms. L'Heureux and her team. Unless I am mistaken, I believe that issue was part of discussions between the House of Commons
